I had posted a while ago about adding a derailleur hanger to a track-end cycle... I finally got around to doing some more searching about it and came up with this! Its basically a chain tug / tensioner with a hanger built onto it.

Which, I think is quite a nifty little doohicky - thought I'd share. Why you ask would one do this... here's my reason: I have a frame with track ends I'd like to run with gears... Shimano is taking its time with the Nexus 8 (and its no doubt heavier than a 7 speed setup)... reckon its cheaper to buy this little gadget than a new frame hey.
